Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum (JHM) was founded by a bequest to the city of Coshocton from two brothers, John and David Johnson, world travelers and collectors who planned the museum throughout their lives as a memorial to their parents, Joseph and Mary Susan (Humrickhouse) Johnson. The brothers were born in Coshocton, but traveled throughout the world collecting art and artifacts, most of which were stored and exhibited at the Ferry Museum in Tacoma, Washington.
Upon their deaths, the city of Coshocton was notified of its inheritance and began preparations to house the tremendous collection of more than 15,000 treasures in a museum of its own.
Through the efforts of two civic leaders at the time - William H. Bachert and Warner Pomerene, the 75-year old Sycamore School building was selected as the museum’s original site. In 1931, the contents of the Johnson brother’s art estate were transferred to the museum’s new home in Coshocton.
In 1973 the museum received full National Accreditation by the prestigious American Association of Museums. This coveted status is the highest recognition a nuseum can receive. In 1985, JHM was again awarded acreditation in its present site in Historic Roscoe Village, to which it was relocated in 1979, when it outgrew its Sycamore Street location.
It was through a combined effort of local fundraising and generous grants from both the Economic Develoopment Administration and the Montgomery and Coshocton Foundations, the JHM enjoys its present site in historic Roscoe VillageMuseum.
Today, visitors can view an extensive collection of native American artifacts, an early American collection and one of the most impressive collections of exotic oriental artifacts, in addition to an eclectic collection of both 19th and 20th century American and European decorative art treasrues. Special traveling exhibits are changed approximately five times per year and include national and regional exhibits of many varieties.

Arts and aviation might seem odd partners, but Coshocton, Ohio, has found a winning relationship. A grassroots movement, sparked by a Richard Downing Airport Administrator and the Coshocton County Arts & Culture Alliance, has taken flight in the form of the Coshocton Airport Amphitheater Project.
Born from an exploratory committee's visitation to a similar facility near Logan, WV, the idea of utilizing three acres of reclaimed airport land, that formed a natural amphitheater, soon grew toward fruition. Key community leaders formed a Board of Trustees, created an organizational structure, established fundraising efforts and secured non-profit status. Architectural plans were completed and building began.
In 2010, the amphitheater slated their first series of summer performances and today, this visionary project benefits the community and has expanded cultural offerings in Coshocton County.
